i use sram shifters with a shimano front mechs have done for years never had any problems,,

it's just the rear mechs that aren't compatible. as they use different ratios.

To clarify, the SRAM numbered are not compatable, SRAM named are, I'm running SRAM rocket shifters with Shimano mechs....

That applies to rears. Fronts are compatible whichever.
